create_chore
Create a chore with flexible repeat options, assign it to users or a circle, set due dates, add subtasks, labels, and configure reminders.
Instructions
Create a new chore. Use simple inputs like usernames and day names.
EXAMPLES:
Simple: {name: 'Take out trash', days_of_week: ['Mon','Thu'], time_of_day: '19:00', usernames: ['Alice']}
One-time: {name: 'Fix faucet', due_date: '2025-11-10', priority: 3}
With subtasks: {name: 'Weekly review', subtask_names: ['Check email','Update notes']}
If no usernames provided, chore is assigned to ANYONE in the circle (round-robin).
